Obedience Classes

For advice on issues like chewing, howling and housebreaking & socialisation, as well as lerning to sit, down, stand, come when called etc, we enrolled him in a puppy training class. 1 hour every Sunday afternoon. It's fun, though he tends to get over excited and we don't get that much done. Most of the work is done at home anyway, the trainer showsyou how to do it then you get it done during the week.

Toilet Training

I've been trying to toilet train him, and most of the time it works, but we have had a few accidents. Any suggestions?

Charlie's Toy box

Charlie has a lot of toys. I mean a lot.

  • Rawhide chews
  • Bone
  • Dental bone
  • Squeaky Tomato
  • Squeaky Pineapple
  • Squeaky toys that look a bit like weights (for lifting)
  • Ball
  • Puppy Kong
  • Various Plush toys (Snake, octopus, giraffe, crocodile, pig, ring, teddy & a green one that looks a bit like a lizard)

Visit to the vets and pet shop.

This morning we took Charlie to the vets to get his final jab. No more for 1 year. We also got a starter kit including some free dog food, a dewormer tablet and some tablets to prvent heartworm. We saw a pet shop next door so we got him some more cuddly toys (he adores them), some food, some treats and a puppy kong. He is very sleepy and is not his usual lively self. On the counter, he kept trying to stand up and ending up lying down because his claws are getting long.

Charlie's life so far

Charlie the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was born in Melbourne, Australia on 7/4/2004. He came into Singapore in October, and we bought him on 11/27/04. We took him to the vets on that day for a vaccination. We spent time in various pet shops buying food, toys, etc. We took him to get professionally groomed 2 fridays ago (12/17/04). We weren't happy. On Christmas Day, we gave him a teddy and a ring with squeakers in.

Hi!

Hi! This is Ally! I am a teenager living in singapore with my parents and my dog, Charlie. This blog will be a journal of his life. I do the typing, while Charlie curls up on my lap. Most of the time he falls asleep, but that's what puppies do most of the time.
